Top 30 Veteran Dynasty Wide Receivers

Posted On June 28, 2017

Predicting future production certainly is not easy. That’s what makes dynasty football fantasy so fun. Taking advantage of market perceptions and getting players that outperform what you paid for them can make or break your team. When it comes to veteran production, I like to look at their last three years and project out there next three for comparison. I also look at age and DMX score to round out my thinking. Below are my projections and ranking for the top 30 veteran dynasty wide receivers. These projections take into account standard, non-ppr fantasy production and projects out three years. Certainly, there are some surprises in here and some expectations that have yet to be fulfilled.

For example, Jordy Nelson, despite his advance age for NFL WR purposes, is ranked 11th on this list. You’d think he’d be lower but the last two years he was on the field he produced top 3 fantasy stats. There is no reason to believe he won’t do that again in 2017, barring injury. I do project a drop off into WR2 territory in 2018 and 2019, though over a three year time horizon he’s still a premier producer. Take advantage of his age and acquire him cheaply if you can, it will be worth it.

Michael Thomas, Devante Parker, Jamison Crowder, Tyreek Hill and Robert Woods also have been projected well above what their history provides. This is where Dynasty MetriX comes in. All of these WRs have very good DMX scores, solidly above zero, and all are in great situations. Whether they take advantage of it or not is anyone’s guess, but I am certainly bullish on them.
